FISHERMAN
This mural pays tribute to the Portuguese community of Toronto, depicting a traditional fisherman from the Nazaré region of Portugal. Artist Pablo Gomez AKA Pablo West
He wears traditional clothing from the region, including a long pointed cap, a brightly coloured shirt, and a sash worn around his waist. In one hand he holds a length of rope, and in the other a net. A fleet of fishing boats can be seen behind him, and beyond them, the open ocean. The Portuguese community has been a longstanding and important presence in the Dundas West area, which is also known as “Little Portugal.” Starting in the 1950s, large numbers of immigrants, many from the Azores and Madeira regions of Portugal settled in this neighbourhood.
